What periods do these chairs come from?

The selection spans from the eighteenth century through the Victorian era and into the early twentieth century. Many pieces also represent later revival periods inspired by earlier historical designs. Craftsmanship and materials often reflect the prevailing style of the decade in which the furniture was produced.

How do I identify different styles?

Styles are determined by the shaping of the timber, the profile of the backrest, and the ornamentation on the legs. Chippendale and Georgian designs typically feature carved details and cabriole legs. Later revival pieces emulate these historical characteristics while incorporating construction methods specific to their actual date of manufacture.

Where were these chairs used?

These seats served various functions in period domestic settings, ranging from formal dining rooms to private libraries and studies. Armchairs and library chairs were placed near desks or firesides for extended sitting. Dining chairs were produced in sets to accompany large tables for household meals and entertaining.

How do I care for the upholstery?

Leather and fabric coverings require regular dusting and occasional conditioning appropriate to the specific textile. Avoiding direct sunlight helps preserve the colour and integrity of antique leather and woven materials. Professional cleaning is recommended for delicate textiles to prevent damage to internal stuffings.
